The doctor didn't like it either.

So, we had Quinn's check up with the foot doctor/surgeon. He didn't like what he saw in the left foot either. When Quinn has no shoes on his left foot rolls inward, similar to what was happening before the surgery. The doctor had some xrays taken and was glad to see that everything on the inside actually looks a lot better than before surgery. So, the doctor believes that Quinn is a little sore on his left foot and rolls it to a comfortable position when standing. This was even demonstrated once Quinn had his shoes on and began walking for the doctor, he was clearly favoring his left foot. The solution for now is to give Quinn Motrin to help with any inflammation (though the therapist hasn't noticed any swelling) and to help reduce any pain or discomfort he might be feeling.

I suppose the good news is that the xrays of the left foot looked really good - even I could tell the difference with where some of the bones were at. Also, when he's wearing his shoes with inserts he's very well supported and his foot is where it's supposed to be. Of course, we're hoping to get to a point where Quinn will be able to stand barefoot and not have his bones rolling wherever it is they want to go.

We've got a vacation coming up - at a water park... the doctor advised us to allow Quinn to take it easy, offer him horseback rides while standing in lines for the bigger water rides, and to try and keep him in his sandals/stroller/shoes with support as much as possible. Basically, watch out for the amount of walking around barefoot we let him do.
